Dumas High School Class of 1965
50th Class Reunion
June 12-13, 2015

The class reunion is only six months away! Karen Overton and others have been working hard to plan a great reunion and I hope that all our classmates still around are planning to attend. All plans are not final but here is the reunion schedule so far.

• Friday, June 12 – We will get together in the evening to decorate the float for the parade the following day. Lots of visiting and hamburgers for all.

• Saturday, June 13 – Meet that morning to ride together in the Dogie Days Parade. Hope we can have a great turnout for this parade. We will then meet at McDade Park to have lunch together (BYOL). After lunch those that are willing will meet at the high school cafeteria to help decorate for the reunion dinner. The reunion dinner Saturday evening will be catered by K-Bobs. Should be a great time and a few surprises are planned as well.

Lots of details to work out and cost of dinner not yet established. Also discussing class shirts or hats or something to identify us. Please plan on attending and while you are here, take a minute to update your biography on this site. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Thanks to Chris & Gladys Lummus, I'm back among the living & off of the "deceased" list-- clever way of getting out of sending someone an invitation to a class reunion!!
Anyway…I graduated from Texas Tech in Dec `69 with a degree in accounting. I will always be eternally grateful to my childhood friend & college roommate, Gerald Frye, for encouraging me to switch from chemical engineering to accounting--a choice I will never regret! This has been a great profession to be in.

.I moved to Amarillo & went to work for Cornell & Company, a large, local CPA firm. Shortly after starting work, I was fortunate enough to win the “lottery” and received an all expense paid two year trip to South Korea via Ft. Ord, CA and Ft. Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis, IN. After that leave of absence, I returned to the accounting firm in Amarillo. I was made a partner of the firm in 1977 & was there until 1994, when I left to start my own practice.

The Lord has greatly blessed us in that we have grown every year since! I have two other Christian ladies that work for me; one is also a CPA and the other, our receptionist. We also have great neighbors in our office complex…Dave Hamrick offices next door.

I love fly fishing and 22 years ago, I was really blessed to meet a wonderful girl, Sally Norris, who also loves the outdoors and fly fishing. Sally & I take 2 wk. trips to the “rivers” and know that the office is left in good hands (what a blessing that is). As long as the health holds out (the Lord willing) retirement will be longer vacations.

Sally grew up in Ft. Worth, but has family roots in Dumas through her mom, who was in the first accredited class in Dumas H.S., Class of ’28. Her family came to Dumas in 1901. Jacob Humble Phillips (Phillips & Sons) accompanied them in the early 1900’s on the trip.
